Sunday homily from the 7pm Mass at Newman on November 26, 2017 (the Feast of Christ the King) by Fr. Chris Saliga, O.P., R.N., Interim Director of the Integritas Institute for Ethics and Associate Chaplain of the St. John Paul II Newman Center.

In this talk to the Women's Group at St. Gertrude's, Fr. Giles outlines what it means to live in the Holy Spirit, what the gifts of the Holy Spirit are, and how they are a part of ordinary Christian experience.

The talk was given on March 1, 2017, at St. Xavier High School for their Mothers' Lenten Day of Recollection. Anne Collins was asked to speak because of her background on Marian Consecration and having lead hundreds of people through St. Louis de Montfort's spiritual classic, "True Devotion to Mary," for 10 years.

What was it about Mother Teresa that made her a saint? What does her work with the poor have to do with the mercy of God? Fr. Gabriel looks at St. Teresa of Calcutta's life of love and suffering to understand how God's saving mercy enters the human experience.

What does it mean to be merciful to myself? Does it mean casting off exterior limitations to explore the true me, à la "Eat, Pray, Love"? Does it mean staring very hard at my weaknesses to be set free from self-deceit? Or does it mean something else entirely? In this video, Fr. Gabriel looks at the meaning of mercy for the self through studying the Gospel passage about the woman caught in adultery.
